National Seat Check Saturday began as an initiative by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to promote child passenger safety.
The exact year of its inception isn’t specified, but it has been observed for several years.
This event is part of Child Passenger Safety Week, which aims to ensure that children are properly secured in appropriate car seats or booster seats for their age and size.
During National Seat Check Saturday, certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians are available at various locations to provide free car seat inspections and guidance to parents and caregivers.
These technicians help ensure that car seats are correctly installed and used, significantly reducing the risk of injury or death in the event of a crash. The initiative underscores the importance of proper car seat usage in protecting young passengers on the road.
